Lol! Last season somebody on Plu forum compared scores at various Nationals with international events. The result was while all Nationals were rather inflated but RN has the smallest gap between RN's score and score at international events, i.e. judges at RM judged less inflated.

GONGRATS to Plu! Gorgeous 3A, his spins were monsters, such speed! Very nice debute. Such a gem, especially for this lousy event.

In the interview he said that the ice in Iceberg is perfect, as well as all facilities like big changing rooms, gyms, special warm-up area, etc. He said that he was operated on his back 4 weeks ago. He was out of the training process and now he is going back to his standards. He will reach his normal level by Euros. At the end when he was smiling he said that he would never wish anyone to skate as long as he does because it's really hald.

Like I've said, even with a broken leg we will see quads from Plushy. And while this was not his best it was certainly very very good! His skating has a sort of excitement rarely seen these days. I hope Santa brings him good health(and a national title)

As always, transitionless program: jump, cross-overs, jump, spin, steps, spin... But his charisma on the ice and the jumps are always there! And, congratulations for landing the quad, knowing what AlexRus reported!

I still dot get where the hyperinflated PCS of Voronov and Kolyada came from
we are talking about nobody skaters especially Kolyada who is a failure even in JGP finsihing 12th
and he gets higher PCS than juniors like Petrov or Samarin with only a 2A ??? is a joke

he does the required steps into his solo triple - the lutz -he could do more transitions like into his spins and like the kind of counter Hanyu does into his 3a

Especially before and between the combo and the 3A there's really nothing except arm movements till the step sequence which is (as always) fast and well choreographed and executed with charisma and power but his technique in the turns lacks a lot of precision and his edges are just FLAT, how he can receive level 4 and +2/+3 is something that I really don't understand...

Voronov was the major standard bearer from 2006 to 2010! He has been Russian champion twice.
